Chapter 87: Chapter 87 Please Extend Your Helping Hand

Shen Hua’s remark enraged everyone.

They all shared the same hatred for status as Wei Yingying, despising the stark difference in treatment and position for those not born from the legitimate mother.

Even with maids at their beck and call and no worries for food or clothing, how could they not hold resentment?

Shen Hua dressed simply, yet everything she wore was far from cheap. Even the maid behind her was adorned in clothes from the third floor of Yunxiang Pavilion.

They hadn’t even touched such clothes once!

Since when did Shengjing raise such a wealthy girl?

Everyone was speculating about Shen Hua’s identity, but they still held back, not daring to retaliate.

After all, if Shen Hua did come from a significant background, clashing with her would surely bring no good end. The household might not stand up for a concubine daughter.

She could even be scolded by the Madam.

Seeing Shen Hua call Wei Yingying by her name and mentioning Yan Mi with seeming familiarity, Wei Zhuzhu became a bit frantic.

These past few days, Wei Yingying had been staying inside her yard, not stepping out, looking like a pitiable creature.

It gave Wei Zhuzhu a taste of sweet revenge. After all, Wei Yingying had always looked down on her!

Even her legitimate mother had aged significantly overnight, and at this critical moment, her concubine mother successfully enticed Daddy to visit her room daily.

Their mother and daughter days were at the peak; their pride had somewhat gone to their heads.

Seeing Wei Zhuzhu’s weakened demeanor, Shen Hua pointed to the wallet in her hand.

The girl’s hand was cold, giving Wei Zhuzhu an involuntary shiver.

"If you truly wish to show your respect, anyone can buy a wallet, where’s the sincerity in that? Handmade is the only way to go."

How could Wei Zhuzhu possibly devote real effort to embroider a wallet for Wei Yingying.

"I’m not good at embroidery. And sister is always so picky; she’s been emotionally unstable these days, seeing it might upset her further."

Even now, she didn’t miss a chance to belittle Wei Yingying.

What sins did Wei Yingying commit to have such a concubine sister?

At least her Ah Zhu was sensible and obedient.

Shen Hua sneered: "I think it’s not that your embroidery is bad, but rather your character is lacking."

"You don’t seem foolish. Could it be that you don’t know whether your legitimate sister gets upset by the sight of your embroidery or by your pretentious and delicate facade? Or is it that you’re pretending to be confused, deliberately provoking her and making her angry?"

Shen Hua watched with her own eyes as Wei Zhuzhu’s face turned the color of liver as she led the group of girls away in a hurry.

Shen Hua strutted proudly like a victorious peacock.

She found a spot to sit down, observing the bustling scene in the pavilion.

"Business is really booming."

Shen Hua spoke softly.

"Other embroidery workshops are desperate to join Yifeng Hall; Shen Qu is truly capable."

She stepped out directly.

Girls were coming and going to buy embroidery, but Shen Hua remained unmoved, which was quite eye-catching.

Soon, the Boss personally came to serve, rushing over to Shen Hua, who clearly looked like a wealthy customer.

"Madam, what would you like to purchase? Our shop just introduced new items today exclusively from Shen Family’s Embroidery Workshop. Unique in all of Quansheng! You won’t find them elsewhere."

"Look at this stitching, these colors."

"Our shop has all kinds of embroidery available."

"If you buy a lot, our shop can even send an attendant to deliver them to your residence."

Shen Hua listened to him praising the embroidery as if there was nothing like it in heaven or earth.

Boss: "Madam, if you are tired, you could rest on the second floor. I’ll bring some items for you to choose while seated."

"No need."

The Boss for a moment couldn’t figure out Shen Hua’s intention.

"Then..."

Shen Hua was indifferent. She casually pointed to a nearby folding screen, her tone full of disdain.

"I’m asking you, is this supposed to be attractive?"

Without waiting for his reply, Shen Hua cheerfully said to her maid.

"Looking at this really hurts the eyes, let’s go to Yifeng Hall."

Boss in anger: Are you playing with me???

Shen Hua left Juchao Pavilion. Across the street, she saw a girl in mourning clothes, kneeling and sobbing while bowing in gratitude to passerby who offered her money.

The ground was inscribed with this line of characters.

——Please extend your helping hand.

It then briefly described her unfortunate plight. Every word seemed to bleed sorrow, eliciting pity from those who read it.

Ningzhu: "It’s just too pitiful! She’s only fifteen, her mother passed away without money for the burial, and now Daddy has broken his leg right at this critical moment. This girl is unable to pay for the medicine and can only take to the streets to beg."

Shen Hua, whose life was less than satisfactory, couldn’t bear to see such human suffering.

She took a few steps forward, the air fraught with an indescribable smell. Shen Hua felt queasy and hurriedly covered her nose and mouth with her handkerchief.

Shen Hua instructed the servant: "Deliver the silver to her."

The person, with tears of gratitude, accepted the silver: "This is enough, thank you kind-hearted folks, I’m going to buy medicine for Daddy now."

Not a bit greedy!

Though on her knees, her spine was straight!

Shen Hua did not linger and hurriedly boarded the carriage. Restlessly, she kept reaching out to scratch her arm.

"Madam, what’s the matter with you?"

"I feel like her fleas have jumped onto me."

Ningzhu: But... you were several meters away from her.

Perhaps to celebrate, Shen Hua hummed off-key tunes on her way to Yifeng Hall.

Compared to Juchao Pavilion, Yifeng Hall was somewhat quieter, but it had a steady stream of customers, everything appeared pleasant to Shen Hua.

Look at the old woman who came to greet her, chubby and looking festive.

"Madam, what embroidery are you looking to buy?" The old woman smiled invitingly as she welcomed Shen Hua inside.

Shen Hua looked around, taking her time to examine each piece.

The four famous embroideries are divided into Su Embroidery, Xiangxiu, Yue Embroidery, and Shu Embroidery.

Shen Family’s Embroidery Workshop is famous for Su Embroidery, but there are also ladies there who understand Xiangxiu, Shu Embroidery, and Bian Embroidery, and their works are far from matching those here at Yifeng Hall.

Shen Hua was amazed and couldn’t find the slightest flaw.

She stood in front of a piece of embroidery featuring ’The Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix’. She studied every stitch and thread closely, seemingly forgetting that she came here just for a shopping spree.

"Madam has taken a liking to this? This is Shu Embroidery, with its rigorous and delicate design, and a clear composition..."

Before the old woman could finish her introduction.

Shen Hua softly continued.

"The techniques of Shu Embroidery are meticulous and ingenious, including 12 major categories with a total of 122 stitches, the use of the shading stitch here transitions beautifully."

Shen Hua slightly smiled: "I’ll take it."

She picked several more pieces of embroidery and settled the bill with silver, but was informed that Yifeng Hall would not provide delivery back to her residence.

The old woman, having received the silver note, smiled even more deeply: "Did Madam come by carriage? Although the Hall does not deliver, we can help carry it to your carriage."

What’s going on!

Shen Hua frowned.

"Every aspect of Yifeng Hall is good, but in this regard, it simply cannot compare to Juchao Pavilion!"

Just because the embroidery is of quality, you become arrogant, huh!

Aren’t you afraid of the chubby boss of Juchao Pavilion catching up?

"Rules are made by people, rigid as they may be, sometimes you need to learn to adapt."

The old woman awkwardly laughed: "Madam, if you don’t have a carriage, I’m afraid your Maids will have to bear the burden."

"There’s a carriage."

Shen Hua: "I just wish more than anyone for our Yifeng Hall to outpace Juchao Pavilion by several streets."

The old woman: ?

Our?

Shen Hua: "The interior decoration of the shop is quite nice, I’ll send a Golden Wealth God Tree over later."

The old woman: ??

Wait, you think this shop is yours now, right?

Shen Hua left Yifeng Hall, but her gaze suddenly paused; she fixated on a familiar figure kneeling across the street.

And that familiar line of characters.

——Please extend your helping hand.
